PS3 specs could change?

I don´t know about the specs of the CELL BE(tm) in the PS3, but CNET.com has a vid report from the E3, showing what supposed to be a "actual" PS3 and not a dev kit.
And they claim on the vid that they saw games played on it as well.

Make what you will out of it, but it looks quite legit. But what do i know?.
Also, hello evrybody at Beyond3D.com forum.
I wouldn't be that worried about Cell downgrade to 2.8 GHZ anyway. I think a RSX clock downgrade would be far more harmful.
I thought Kutaragi recently had stated they had been stockpiling Cell's since last July or something? And that procuring enough Cells for launch was therefore not a bottleneck?
Has this "source" been right on something before?

He claims the devkits have 2 gigs of RAM, but I thought they all just had double the PS3 spec. Color me suspicious.

Obviously! *rolls eyes*
In what should come as no surprise, this originates is from the usual Red Cloak, Evil Avatar, Fishie, Deadmeat crew (remember RSX=7600? Yeah, those guys). "Red Cloak" posted it on that cess-pool of a forum not worthy of mentioning by name, and Kotaku lifted it as "news". Its also not the first time they've rolled out one of these ridiculous AIM "interviews" with a Super Secret Sony Insider giving out the "dirt". PS3 may end up downgraded or not, but its pretty safe to say these yahoos have zero credibility on the manner.

I just read some of the forum posts on that topic over at Kotaku. They have some very well informed readers over there. Check this one out.
My eyes have been opened!

Red= Red Cloack from Opa Ages= Xboxer from OA.
They are creating FUD against PS3 from the forums with things like RSX= GF7600 underclocked at 420Mhz, Cell Downgrade, Sony cannot sell milions of PS3 because the laser diode supplier can only give a few thousands to Toshiba for the HD-DVD.
FUD, FUD, FUD and FUD.

Obviously not well enough informed. A 'core' is a processor in a miltuprocessor chip. A 'processor' consists of logic gates to process data, local storage in the form of registers to hold data to processed by the logic circuits, and any number of optional extras to aid performance. The Z80 CPU didn't have any cache, but you can't claim that was a zero core processor!inefficient said:
Cell is an asymmetric multiprocessor, using two different processor designs in one IC, which different specialised abilities. One can argue all one wants about whether the SPU's are 'full CPUs' or not (arguments that have been had) but anyone trying ot pass them up as anything other than full processors is either misinformed or out to spread FUD. Read up on this board to get the full insight onto the nature of Cell as a multicore processor (besides which, what does calling them cores or not matter, as long as they do the job?!)
